- 12 in. by 12 in. by 20 in.
Answer:
The possible dimensions of the container are
- 10 in, by 12 in. by 24 in
- 12 in. by 12 in. by 20 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Volume of the container = 2,880 cubic inches
Required
Possible dimensions of the container
To solve this question, the following assumption has to be made;
It'll be assumed that the container is a rectangular
To calculate the volume of a rectangular figure, we simply multiply the dimensions of the figure,
This implies that; we'll test each of the given options.
Which ever gives 2,880 is the right answer.
- 10 in, by 12 in. by 24 in.
[tex]Volume = 10 in * 12 in * 24 in[/tex]
[tex]Volume = 2,880[/tex] cubic inches
- 12 in. by 15 in. by 18-in.
[tex]Volume = 12 in * 15 in * 18 in[/tex]
[tex]Volume = 3,240[/tex] cubic inches
- 10 in. by 16 in. by 20 in.
[tex]Volume = 10 in * 16 in * 20 in[/tex]
[tex]Volume = 3,200[/tex] cubic inches
- 12 in. by 12 in. by 20 in.
[tex]Volume = 12 in * 12 in * 20 in[/tex]
[tex]Volume = 2,880[/tex] cubic inches
From the calculation above, only option A and D gives 2,880;
Hence, the possible dimensions of the container are
- 10 in, by 12 in. by 24 in
- 12 in. by 12 in. by 20 in
